Pro Fit by E-Ducato utilises the all-electric E-Ducato range. By running a real world simulation modelled specifically on their exact fleet, businesses are able to discover the economic and ecological advantages of this new kind of electric vehicle based mobility.
Designed for a multitude of commercial vehicle business types – whether that be a one commercial vehicle business or large multinational – Pro Fit by E-Ducato is a fleet simulator. In its simplest form, once signed in via the online platform, a business can build a simulation by entering their current fleet of commercial vehicles (with internal combustion engines), indicating the type of vehicle they use (body, wheelbase, height) and selecting the usage (route, mileage, operating temperature, etc.) for each one.
When the simulation has been set up, Pro Fit recommends the most suitable E-Ducato configurations available, and indicates each ones expected performance against business requirements. It provides insight into whether the range is sufficient, the extent of annual savings, whether the charging slots indicated are consistent with each vehicle’s mission, and more.
Rather than simulating ‘the mission’ on the basis of generic input, a business can activate tracking in their fleet of existing vehicles from a smartphone. All a business needs to do is have their drivers download the dedicated ‘Pro Fit by E-Ducato’ app, available free of charge from the App Store and Google Play.
Once a business has configured its fleet in the web tool, drivers activate the app in each vehicle, which sends mission data to the web tool of the same name. Real world data is then gathered using GPS and the accelerometer in the smartphone and are immediately saved in the back-end of the website. Using this information, Pro Fit processes the data and provides a list of the electric solutions recommended, with estimates of financial savings.
Richard Chamberlain, Fiat Professional UK Country Manager, said: “This tool allows businesses to be reassured of their decision to move electric before even stepping behind the wheel of the E-Ducato.”
